CBS: "-
Survivors learn that there is an Immunity idol hidden in the
Guatemalan jungle, and the hunt begins.
- Given the choice to feast or challenge, several castaways
choose to enjoy a large feast in front of the others instead
of competing for Immunity. Is this a smart move, or will their
hunger be their demise?"

Since
Probst is only just asking about the sleeping arrangements at the
IC, we'll guess the treemail describing the hidden idol, and the
ensuing scurrying about, takes the place of this week's reward
challenge. Who finds it? Your guess is as good as ours. Sucks poster
ToothOfTime apparently
thinks Danni is the one to find it (although incorrectly describing
the idol as an "Immunity Envelope," when it's clearly just the
usual idol, crammed into a tree). We'd like to think Rafe's extensive
experience looking around in the woods for bugs to eat would help
him here, but it could be just about anyone. Or
they could not find it until a later episode. Since more than one
person sits out the IC, it seems unlikely that sitting out the
IC necessarily means much, apart from feeling comfortable with
your tribal position.

IMMUNITY
CHALLENGE - Some unseen challenge/ Bobby Jon wins?

No
challenge shots yet, at least as of the web
promo, but we do have
shots of challenge arrival (below),
and the CBS clues: "Given the choice
to feast or challenge, several castaways choose
to enjoy a large feast in front of the others instead of competing
for Immunity.
Is this a smart move, or will their hunger be their demise?" We
note that Danni is wearing her buff the same way in the shot of
her sitting down as in the arrival shot (behind the gaping Steph),
and the ruins behind her match those in the pre-challenge shots
of the tribe talking to Probst. So Danni is either choosing to
sit out, or has been eliminated already. No clue what the challenge
is, since it's not shown.

Who wins? We'd guess one of Judd, Jamie, BJ or Brandon. Apart from
that, we can probably eliminate a few people. The web
promo also has a shot of the march to tribal council (also
below, offset with a grey background), and someone ought to be
wearing the immunity necklace there, if they won the IC (we've
also included Rafe wearing the necklace, for comparison, taken
from the Ep6 tribal councils). Steph and Cindy don't appear to
be wearing the necklace. Probably not Rafe either, but that's not
clear. So... not much help there. We'll go with the general consensus
that Bobby Jon needs this win to save his butt
this week, and in doing so, achieves his "lifelong dream" of making the
jury (right
up there with Homer's running onto the field at a ball game, but
hey, at least he gets it).

BOOT/ Brandon?

We
were initially fairly sure this week's boot would be Gary, but Xbalanque:
's post pointing instead to Brandon gives us pause. In retrospect,
we'll admit that a couple of lines of evidence for Gary not making
the jury were not as solid as we thought. So
let's go through the candidates for the boot:

Gary

Brandon

- Strong,
immunity threat, leader.
- By all appearances to his ex-tribemates now on Nakum, he
sold out Brian and Amy to save himself.
- On the other hand, previously had an alliance with Steph,
who is already tiring of Jamie. Logical replacement there.
Perhaps with Danni replacing Judd as well?

- Xbalanque:
Probably last non-juror.
-
Strong, immunity threat.
- Shown (again in web promo) looking concerned as Probst
tells Yaxha they're merging after the Ep7 TC.
- He and Bobby Jon are shown desperately looking for the
hidden idol, suggesting both are in trouble.
- Shown struggling with decisions in past few episodes. Not
good in a potential juror?

On balance, we'll admit that
Brandon and BJ would appear to be in greater immediate danger.
Then again, with two paths to immunity open, it's not inconceivable
that both could be protected this week. But Brandon does seem a bit
more likely than Gary.
